I had a roommate in the Navy who grew up in one of Gotti's neighbourhoods; she said she had never felt so safe.

She had nothing but praise and admiration for Gotti.

Thats not just Gotti's neighborhood. That was NYC and the surrounding area that had mob presence. People can say what they want about organized crime, but the truth is when the Italians ran things, the nation ran smoother. All the fuck up we have now are the result of government and corporations running things that the Mob had running efficiently.

@Mike Knight you might be wondering why the need for zips in usa well some mafia bosses most notable carlo gambino and carmine galente used them as bodyguards because they have no attachments or connection to made mafia guys in usa so therefore no great chance of being betrayed or set up by your bodyguards as is usually the case when a boss gets hit. though having said that it turned out that when carmine galente got hit it was his zip bodyguards that sold him out and set him up. they are also seen as being more disciplned than american made guys and are used to do the bosses bidding to keep made american guys in line when enforcing is needed. an example of this is shown in the sopranos when tony soprano goes to italy to arrange the transfer of furio to the new jersey mob to be his personal bodyguard and driver.

Man I love the way he explains mafia movie scenes. You see only someone who lived that life can describe it to the tooth what was the mafia life all about!! If he got out and this man still here, I believe 💯% that God is watching over him, and I sure do believe God loves this man a lot. Much respect to him. God Bless you Michel and God Bless you all outhere 👍🙏🙋♂️

Been meaning to check this movie out ever since you mentioned it in The Last Sitdown. And what a story that. With the punchline , "Would you have told you?" I mean: mindblown. Glad you made it through it all. Keep up the great work and blessings upon your house.

Truly was the most authentic mob movie I wasn’t even aware of until now. It’s amazing to see someone so close to this who lived it talk about it.

Michael, this is one of my favorites, filmed in Toronto Canada, very well done There has been a mob war happening up here in Quebec and Ontario, Montreal , Toronto and Hamilton ...lots of guys whacked in the past five years. Look into it. Very interesting stuff. One Mafia family in Hamilton reports to Maggadino family in Buffalo. The rest of the families are Indrangetta .

Mr Franzese , I have just recently discovered your KZfaq channel! I know about you a little through your other media appearances. Anyway, a few videos ago you gave us a homework assignment to watch the movie Gotti an HBO movie from 1996. Well, I indeed did complete my homework assignment. I am typing this out before we watching your video 2 get your take on this movie. I know you'll let us know how real or authentic the story is. I loved the movie. I thought it was well done and well-acted and of course very informational. I am enjoying your KZfaq channel immensely. Thank you, sir.

I hope Franzese does a whole segment on Carlo Gambino. He said Gambino was before his time of course, but Gambino's outside aura didn't spell the kind of smart deadly man that he was. So, Franzese, the kind of mobster he was, documenting Gambino would be pretty interesting.

That scene where Neil and Gotti are at the bar and Neil tells Gotti if he got the orders to kill him, he would, while pointing at the two hit men that came into the bar with him. That scene always sent chills down my spine.

one thing I recall from the film was the discussion and distrust between the Neopolitan Mafia and the Sicilian Mafia... could you discuss those differences (if any) in a future episode?
@nikko.lottsahcocc69174 жыл бұрын
It’s mostly an old timer old school thing that began with the old Sicilian bosses that only viewed their fellow Sicilians as trustworthy mafiosi and discriminating against them, so back in the day there was some bad blood between Sicilians and Napolitans
@trinihammer3 жыл бұрын
its age old adage in la cosa nostra sicillians are seen as royalty in la cosa nostra italians ie neapolitans were viewed as just good for muscle work and enforcing. before 1930 main land italians couldnt get into la cosa nostra in usa you had to be sicillian however the great mafia war in usa CASTELLAMARESE WAR needed more recruits couldnt get enough sicillians so decide to recruit main land italians ie of naples descent. as a result mobsters such as costello.genovese,valachi who were all italian but not sicillian were able to get made thanks to liberal minded sicillians like luciano and to a lesser extent salvatore maranzano. if you read the valachi papers which in my opinion is the original and best book on the mafia in usa explains the distinction between sicillians and italians. JOE VALACHI TOLD HIS FRIEND DOMINIC THE GAP PETRELLI THAT HE WANTED TO JOIN LA COSA NOSTRA AND PETRELLI TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS MAINLY SICILLIANS AND THAT SICILLIANS WERE TREACHEROUS IN THAT IF YOU WERE FRIENDS WITH A SICILLIAN FOR 20 YEARS AND YOU HAD AN ARGUMENT WITH A STRANGER WHO WAS SICILLIAN IN THE STREET YOUR SICILLIAN FRIEND OF 20 YEARS WOULD TAKE THE SIDE OF THE STANGER WHO WAS SICILLIAN AGAINST YOU. believe you me the book THE VALACHI PAPERS is the best read on the mafia in usa from 1929 to 1970. all that we know about the mafia in usa came firstly from joe valachi in my opinion all other mafia books afterwards are just cashing in on what joe valachi started. its the original and still the best. to this day sicillians still look down their noses at italians in NEW YORK.

Mr. Franzese,I know all your doing is reviewing a movie here, but i wanted to tell you. I have been watching you for a while now, and you are truly inspiring. 4 years ago i was in a very dark place. drugs etc. My wife came to me and told me she was pregnant and my whole world changed. I cut ties with all thd bad people in my life and found the light of God. I love watching your videos because you are able to look at any situatuion and put a positive spin on it. You are truly an inspiration to me, and your words of wisdom keep me from returning to that dark place..Now I have 2 beautiful children, I got my electrical license and now make good money and a wife who pulled me out of hell. Its so inspiring to hear stories about others who have been to the dark places and made it out. Thank you for your wisdom and God bless you!
